Astral Apostle Chapter 84: Recruiting
Zhou Jing did not answer immediately, but instead asked: "Are you a wandering hunter from Baiyuan City?"
"You know me?" Webb wondered.
Zhou Jing smiled: "I haven't met you, but when I first met, I found you staring at my face, full of surprise, as if I had seen someone who looks similar to me. Now that you call Jason's name, it's not hard to tell that you were once a hunter in White Plains City, and if you're not mistaken, you and Jason were once hunting partners."
There is enough information in this passage, Weber is more and more sure of his guess, but he still confirms and asks: "Then who are you?"
Zhou Jing put away his smile, deliberately lowered his voice, and pretended to be cautious:
"Jason is my brother, but I don't have a last name right now, just Jace."
Sure enough, it's blood relationship, so I know I guessed right!
Webber believed it right away, he didn't know Jason that well, and immediately accepted the rhetoric that was in line with his common sense.
After all, it's hard evidence that the two look alike...the previous speculation that Jason had returned from the dead was really absurd.
——It can't be the same person, not to mention the common sense that the dead can't be resurrected. It's just that the two people's conversation performance is quite different. This Jace is obviously not as stern as Jason, and his brain is better than that of the arrogant Jason. Much better.
He is not surprised that Jace concealed his surname. With the assassination of the lord to this day, the name "Jason Wood" is known by too many people. This surname is eye-catching, and incognito can avoid a lot of trouble.
At this moment, Webb was suddenly silent - although Jace was Jason's brother, he was still a stranger to him, and after recognizing his identity, he didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Weber thought of a question and wondered:
"You are Jason's brother and a three-time-enhanced hunter. Why didn't Jason follow you, but went to Baiyuan City to become a hunter? If I were with you, maybe Jason wouldn't have to die. now..."
Zhou Jing waved his hand and said seriously: "I know what you're thinking, but our family never depends on others, even if they are brothers, they must be separated when they reach a certain age, scattered all over the place, and live their own lives - independent and independent, This is our Wood's family motto!"
A look of surprise crossed Webb's muscular face.
From the time of the tribe, the concept of living in a group has been dissolved in the blood of the world, and it is difficult for him to understand this family motto.
But as an experienced hunter, Weber suddenly thought that there are many alien beasts with similar habits in nature, which would allow members of the group to hunt for food and experience alone, and then return to the group.
Often members of the clan die in the process, but the alien beasts that survive will be more powerful, which is a cold and cruel survival habit.
'Wood... appears to be a cruel family. ' Weber thought in his heart.
He doesn't doubt the authenticity of Zhou Jing's words, nor the strong resilience brought about by this family training, but he just doesn't understand.
"But your brother died, you really... oh!"
Webber asked the question subconsciously, and suddenly a flash of inspiration suddenly opened his eyes.
Yes, the lord of White Plains City, Root, was kidnapped and torn apart, and the murderer is suspected to be a three-time enhancer!
The strength matches, the motive matches...the case is solved!
The murderer must be Jess - half a year after Jason's death, his brother went to White Plains City, took Root's life, and achieved revenge!
Webber suddenly realized that everything was right.
A cruel family is cruel to its own people, and it must be even more cruel to its enemies! Usually independent of each other, but once a relative dies, the Wood family will definitely give violent revenge!
Webber's heart sank.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing raised his brows and said meaningfully: "Some things, don't say anything if you guess, I believe in your relationship with Jason."
Webber came back to his senses with a serious face: "I'll keep it a secret for you."
He didn't mean to expose the truth at first, the question was just to understand the confusion, and now that he got the answer, he was satisfied, and had no other thoughts.
Although Webber does not approve of killing lords by crime, he is not pedantic. Since there is no evidence of death and no one has found out, he will not betray Jason's relatives.
What's more, Root was regarded as an enemy by the hunters of White Plains City. If it weren't for the fact that he was hacked to death as a lord, Jace just did what he wanted to do but resisted it... When I heard the news of Root's death At that time, he was so happy that he cooked three bowls of meat.
Zhou Jing nodded, trusting the hunter's conduct.
If he was ruthless, he might be thinking about shutting his mouth at the moment, but Zhou Jing had no such idea at all. After all, he was a former comrade-in-arms, and it was not a big deal to be recognized in his eyes.
Do you know what an Eternal Apostle is, I'm afraid of an egg!
After chatting for a while and telling Weber the "truth", Zhou Jing walked out of the tent and exhaled softly.
This acquaintance won't reveal anything, but the side effect is that Webb really thinks there is a "Wood family" that is starting to go incognito...
"Little problem, small problem."
Zhou Jing muttered a few words, then put the matter down, opened the panel and took a look.
The panel at this point has several prompts.
[Trigger Achievement [First Kill - Alien Blood Warrior (Secondary Enhancement)]]
[Get 1000 Astral Points! [Quality Enhancement - Physical Fitness (Small)] x1, [Quality Enhancement - Resistance (Small)] x1]
[Trigger Achievement [Alien Blood Killer (Ten Kills)]]
[Get 1000 Astral Points! ]
Durting over Doton and his gang, triggering two achievements and earning a small fortune.
Because Zhou Jing hasn't executed Dodun yet and plans to bring him back to the capital to gain reputation, the first kill achievement of the three-time enhancer has not yet been triggered, but he is bound to get it, and it's no joke to apply for the execution in person.
In addition to the achievement, this time a special prompt was triggered.
[You get career deeds - [Rebellion in Deep Rock City]! ]
[Rating: City Level]
[Current reputation bonus: +1]
"What is this?" Zhou Jing was triggered for the first time and explained.
When involved in some special events and making an impact, there is a chance to trigger a career deed, which is related to the legend. The higher the spread, influence, historical significance and other factors of this deed, the more legendary it will increase, which is dynamic.
It is equivalent to the "celebrity deeds" and "great achievements" of an astral apostle in the current world, which can bring fame and prestige.
As long as you promote "life deeds", you can increase the reputation bonus, but the upper limit depends on the nature of the matter itself - promotion is also realistic, and there are limits to boasting.
"It's strange, I was quite a sensation when I assassinated the lord at the beginning. I gave a lot of fame, but it didn't trigger this thing. I don't know what the judgment probability is."
Zhou Jing touched his chin.
Anyway, it's a good thing to increase the popularity. This thing can improve the income of each regression settlement and placement settlement.
Close the panel, Zhou Jing touched the witchcraft book stored close to him, his eyes flashed.
"Time to talk to the 'Wizard'."
……
Lin En opened his eyes slowly, and he saw an unfamiliar roof, and he was lying on a wooden bed.
The excessive use of witchcraft caused a splitting headache, as if his brain was being stirred, he groaned and couldn't help covering his forehead.
At this moment, a man's voice sounded beside him.
"Are you awake?"
Lin turned his head to look and found a strong and burly man sitting beside the bed, vaguely familiar.
Shards of memory popped up in his dazed head, piecing together his pre-coma experience.
Lin En suddenly remembered that he was being chased and killed by the bandits before he fainted due to overdraft. He was at the end of the road. Suddenly, a strong man from the sky tore the bandits in half, and it was the man in front of him.
"You saved me?"
"Yes, I am Imperial Hunter Jess." Zhou Jing nodded.
"Uh, thank you Jace."
Lynn's tone is sincere, but his face is unnatural and his eyes dodge.
He was glad that he was rescued and was grateful, but he was worried that the scene where he used witchcraft to stop the gangsters would be seen, revealing his uniqueness, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Unfortunately, things did not develop in the direction he prayed for. Zhou Jing looked at him with great interest and said:
"I see that you can manipulate earth and stone. This is not the ability of alien blood enhancement, aren't you going to explain it?"
It was still discovered...Lynn felt helpless and didn't know how to refute, but just kept silent.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing took out the book of sorcery from his arms: "I have read this book. The ability you use is called sorcery, right?"
Lin En was shocked, and quickly touched his chest, found it was empty, and immediately reached out to grab the book in a hurry.
"Give me the book back!"
Zhou Jing easily pushed Lin En's hand away, shook his head and said, "Answer my question first, where did you get this book from?"
Lin En's small arms and legs couldn't twist Zhou Jing at all. He tried several times to no avail, so he had to give up and said helplessly, "I dug it out."
Zhou Jing shook the book: "Tell me in detail."
Lynn's lips twitched, and he struggled for a while, but he recognized the situation and compromised.
A few years ago, he was still a bookkeeper for a caravan. He followed the team to do business. One day, he was attacked by a strange beast in the wild. Open the beast.
And when he fell into the hole, he was hit by something on the back, and found that there was half a black hard object buried in the ground, so he dug out the soil with his hands, and pulled out an old box, which contained A book is this remnant book that records the knowledge of witchcraft.
After a lucky escape, Lynn began to delve into the contents of the book and found that he seemed to be able to practice the witchcraft knowledge documented above. According to the contents of the book, he traveled everywhere to find the spirit of nature that can inspire the power of witchcraft. After being chased by alien beasts, he accidentally discovered a spirit of nature, and it was difficult to integrate it into his body. The magical power of the earth element.
After that, he lived in seclusion in the nearby Deep Rock City, daring not to reveal his abilities, and devoted himself to studying the contents of the witchcraft book until today.
"...So you have the power of witchcraft and do nothing but stay at home?"
Zhou Jing frowned.
"I dare not use it, or someone will find out and someone will **** my book."
Lin En faltered, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Jing, his expression seemed to say that I really had foresight.
Having extraordinary powers, he also wanted to show and start a new life, but he was afraid to take this step because of his worries, so he kept locking himself in the room and trying to study witchcraft knowledge, and kept suppressing his inner feelings. impulse.
Although it was exposed now, which made him panic, he was inexplicably relieved, as if he wanted others to know but had to hide his ability, which was finally forced to be known, so he no longer had to hide himself.
Lin En is willing to compromise and answer, there are some factors in this aspect, he has held it in his heart for too long... At the same time, because Zhou Jing is his savior, he does not feel Zhou Jing's hostility.
After hearing Lynn's explanation, Zhou Jing rubbed his temples.
I thought this was a wizard with a heritage, but I didn't expect it to be a self-taught. It seems that I can't get information about other wizards in the world from Lynn's mouth.
“Now that I know your abilities, what are you going to do?” Zhou Jing asked with arms crossed.
"I don't know either." Lynn looked confused: "What do you want me to do?"
He couldn't do the killing and silence, and he couldn't beat Zhou Jing, and he didn't even think in this direction in his heart.
He only prayed that Zhou Jing would not act malicious, even if he was in good condition, he would probably not be able to beat this person, not to mention that he was overdrawn now.
Zhou Jing looked at him carefully for a while, then suddenly smiled, and threw the witchcraft book back into Lynn's arms.
"Don't be nervous, I'm asking you about these things just out of curiosity. I've never seen such power before, and I don't plan to do anything to you."
Lin En quickly grabbed the book and breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhou Jing in surprise: "Aren't you going to take my book?"
"No."
Zhou Jing shook his head. He had read it completely, and he could read it from the experience log at any time.
He paused, looked at Lynn's surprised expression, and smiled:
"You have extraordinary talents. Would you like to accept my employment? I will pay you on the condition that I also want to study the knowledge of this book."
"This..." Lynn was stunned and hesitated.
The corner of Zhou Jing's mouth twitched and said, "The book says that the spirit of nature will only appear in some inaccessible places, and it is generally very dangerous. With my protection, you will not have to worry about the threats in the wild, and you can boldly search for it. The spirit of nature. I am already an insider. If you go to others to cooperate, more people will know. I have no ill will towards you, others may not necessarily, so it is the best and safest choice to cooperate with me. "
Lynne was moved when she heard the words.
In the two years of seclusion, witchcraft has hardly progressed, and still only integrates one nature spirit, because he dare not go into the wild to find new nature spirits.
This trick of my own can't deal with wild beasts that are too strong at all. Luck can favor it once, but it won't be so good all the time.
And this powerful hunter is right, he is already an insider, and the ship is done.
"Can you let me think about it?" Lynn would be uncertain for a moment.
"Of course, before I leave Deep Rock, you can take your time."
Zhou Jing is very talkative.
The recruitment of Lynn was the result of his deliberation ~IndoMTL.com~ Rather than simply taking a book, it would be more beneficial to bring someone who has successfully practiced witchcraft, a living example is better than a dead book.
But he doesn't force it. If Lynn is really unwilling, then forget it. The big deal is to study the so-called witchcraft on his own. The book has clearly written the entry method.
The power of witchcraft can only be unlocked by looking for the spirit of nature. The spirit of nature is quite rare and can only be discovered by the special method recorded in the book. It takes luck to find this thing.
Astral Apostles have a lot of trial and error costs. If Lynn can succeed, the Apostles will naturally have more chances.
However, Zhou Jing felt that there was a high probability that Lin En would agree, not only because he was a benefactor, but also because this person's performance just now revealed a mentality between the extraordinary and the commoner, and he was not a strong character.
People shouldn't mind sharing and cooperating as long as they can gain trust, have no malice, and give each other what they need.
Zhou Jing got up and left, walked out of the room, raised his hand to cover the sunshade, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Witchcraft system...I don't know what it would be like to use."
